“Hello Fans.
Welcome to Las Vegas. I really didn’t
want to start off on such a sour note but it turns out that the dastardly
attack by the A-Team on Jake Roberts did a number on him. It turns out that Jake needed surgery. After the attack in Albuquerque, Jake went in
for emergency surgery. The good news is
that everything went well. In fact, the
hospital let us take a camera in to see ‘the snake’ for a taped video. Let’s roll it.”
We cut to a
hospital room and the camera pans until it rest on Jake Roberts laying in his
hospital bed. (The fans cheer in
Vegas). Jake begins. “Hello Vegas. The Snake here. I wanted to let you all know that I
appreciate the prayers and thoughts you sent my way. Keep them coming as it will only help me get
better faster. I promise that payback
will be a bitch and A-Team, for what you did to me, it will be returned
10-fold. You see, the snake is a master
at the game of manipulation and if for one minute, you think you put me out to
pasture, well guess what….you’re wrong.
What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger and the Snake will emerge
from this cocoon even deadlier than before.
That is a promise. Finally, I
have one last person to thank and that is DDP.
Page, who knows what they would have done to me had you not shown
up. Thanks brother. The Snake will return…just you wait.” Video ends.
We are back with Clarkus. “A very emotional video from the great Jake Roberts. Now, at this time I would like to bring out the trio responsible for this act…the A-Team. Del Rio, Aries and Cesaro: I hope you are all proud of what you did.” Aries interrupts “We took out the decade old trash.” Alberto comments “There is no room in this business for has-beens. The competition is fierce but the A-Team will reign supreme.” Cesaro takes center stage “Diamond Dallas Page…you stuck your nose in our business. You put your hands on me. Well, prepare for YOUR hospital stay as no one does that to me and gets away with it.” Aries turns and exclaims “What the hell?” Walking on camera is none other than DDP and he is armed with a steel chair. “It’s me, it’s me, it’s DDP. A-Team, you crossed the line attacking my good friend Jake. Jake sends me in with a message. Someone needs to teach you three the meaning of the word respect.” Aries jumps in his face “Really and that is going to be who? You old man? You will need an army if you expect to take us on.” Master Bull comes in and immediately separates the two team. “Page, I need to see you in my office now. A-Team, leave. I had better not see you cause any trouble or I’ll make your lives a living hell.” The A-Team leaves and Page follows Master Bull.
We cut to one of
the dressing rooms and we see Hulk Hogan there talking on the phone…we do not
know to whom. “Listen Brother. My contract states I get controlling interest
in these federations and I need to make my play now. I can’t give that goofball Bull any time to
get his affairs in order. (he pauses
while listening) Yeah, that is a great idea.
I’m going to head down to the ring now and make if official. Thanks for the chat, Brother.” The Hulkster gets up and leaves the room not
even paying attention to the camera that was there. I guess what he was talking about is no
longer a secret but I think we need to follow him to see what is going on.
“Voodoo Child”
hits and out walks Hulk Hogan. He makes
a beeline for the ring. He gets in and
turns on the mic. “Fans of the CSWA and
HWF, the Hulkster is here, live and in person.
Vegas is a betting town and it is time for me to take over the CSWA and
HWF. Bull, you’ve tried; sometimes
hitting the mark; sometimes way off. It
is time for the Hulkster to pick up the ball you’ve dropped and run with
it.” Master Bull comes out and he is not
happy. He makes his way to the
ring. “Hogan, you have some nerve. This is my show; not yours. You don’t come in here taking over the house
I’ve built.” “Someone has to
Brother. You’re not exactly a wrestling
mind but I’ve been in this business for over 30 years and I will tell you, I
know how to run it.” Bull looks confused
“So what you are saying is that ‘you had the ball’ when you ran with WCW and
proceeded to not only run it into the ground but also cost Ted Turner billions
of dollars? Where were the asses in
those seats? You are NOT taking this
from me.” Hogan shakes his head “You
marks will never learn. I am taking
over. I am already in control. What you think you have is only a Mirage (pun
intended as we are in Vegas after all).
What did the owners actually say to you?
I had you by the ‘franks and beans’”.
The fans begin chanting Franks and Beans. (A bit of forshadowing: by the end of the show, Franks and Beans was
the #1 tweet around the world). Master
Bull lets the chanting die down. “You’ll
never get this show. Not while I’m
here. But if you really want me out, go
gather a team and at Wrestlemania, Team Master Bull will take on Hogan’s Cocoa
Puffs, er, I mean Team Hogan (Hogan’s Cocoa Puffs was a very close #2 tweet) with the victor’s team awarding 100%
managerial rights for the HWF and CSWA.”
“You’re on Brother.” Hogan stares
down at Bull before leaving. The fans
chanted “Cocoa Puffs” at Hogan all the way to the back. Hogan walks back to his dressing room and
picks up the phone. He dials a
number. “It’s all done. Time to put the plan into action”. Hogan then closes the door to his office.
Here are the
matches and the results:
Cactus Jackie
gets her 2nd win against Nikki Bella after getting Nikki to tap out
to the Cactus Clutch in 12 minutes.
Right after this
match, we cut to a commotion in the back.
VamChango seem to be trying to pick a fight with fellow countryman Malo
Leche de Mantequilla. There is a lot of shoving
going on until VamChango unloaded on Malo.
They beat him down pretty bad until the Mexicali Flyers jump in for the
save. They chase VamChango off and help
Malo up. He nods in appreciation and all
shake hands.
The next match
of the night is Ryback taking on Bobby Lashley in Lashley’s first singles match
back. Bobby is wiping the mat with
Ryback. He hasn’t lost a step. The tide turns however when Bully Ray makes
his way down causing a distraction.
Ryback uses this to his advantage and nails Lashley with the Meathook. He makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. After the match, Bully jumps in and starts to
kick and stomp on Bobby. Bobby battles
back hitting a Dominator. Bully rolls
out of the ring and scurries to the back.
Another
backstage commotion is taking place between Dirk “the Pick” Devon and Wam Bam
Arosonist. Dirk is accusing Wam of
costing Mike the title, Mike’s livelihood but more importantly, Dirk’s partner
and band teammate. Dirk tells Wam to
watch his back but Arsonist does not take too well to the threat so he gets
into Dirk’s face. There’s a bit of
shoving and punches thrown but it ends pretty quick when Arsonist hits the Pick
with the “Wham Bam Thank you Ma’am” and Dirk falls to the ground; eyes wide in
horror. Dirk exclaims “I want you in the
ring, man. You’ll pay.” Wam Bam stands over him “You think you scare
me? I’ve seen a lot worse than you. But if you want me in the ring, you need to
put some skin in the game. That title…it’s
on the line whether or not you like it. When
you are ready to lose, you let me know.
US Champion Mark
Henry came out for his match next against A-Team member Antonio Cesaro. In 20 minutes, the first fall goes to Antonio
after he hits a cradle facebuster. The second
fall goes 25 minutes. Henry was setting
up for the World’s strongest slam when the other A-Team members – Alberto Del
Rio and Austin Aries come out distracting the champion. Cesaro hits the cradle facebuster again and with
his feet on the ropes, gets the 1-2-3.
Antonio Cesaro has just defeated Mark Henry to become the NEW US
CHAMPION. His tag team partners join him
in the ring and they all celebrate.
A quick
interview with DDP and he says that he will be announcing his tag team partner
next week. With this reveal, everyone
will feel the BANG!
Next on the card
is Alberto Del Rio taking on Curtis Axel for the North American title. Del Rio gets the first fall in 22 minutes
after pinning Axel with a rolling cross armbreaker. 9 minutes later Del Rio hits a double arm
breaker and rolls Axel up for the win.
Alberto Del Rio wins the North American Title. This is the second singles title won by a
member of the A-Team. Aries and Cesaro
comes out to celebrate with their teammate.
Austin Aries acknowledges that he is the final member of the team
without a title so he calls out Christian for his title shot at the Internet
Media Championship.
In 16 minutes,
Christian gets the first fall after hitting Aries with the Unprettier. Before the second fall could begin, Del Rio
and Cesaro jump in the ring and attack Christian. The ref eventually gets them out and rings the
bell. The next fall goes 20 minutes and
favors Aries. The beatdown the A-Team
put on Christian put him at a disadvantage.
The third round goes the final 22 minutes declaring a time limit
draw. The ref tries to give Christian
back his title but Aries steals it and blasts Christian with it. Austin Aries stands with his teammates and
all raise their titles in victory.
Master Bull comes out and it seems that the match was ended prematurely…by
2 minutes. He makes the decision to hold the title up and these two will meet
in a week to decide who the champion is.
The second to
last match is the Mexicali Flyers taking on VamCango. The Flyers NJWW tag team titles are on the
line. Since these belts are not HWF/CSWA
authorized, there is no automatic rematch clause. The battle goes for 5 minutes with Tornado en
Fuego getting counted out. Since the
titles can’t change hands on a countout, the Flyers still retain but it is
under question if the Flyers (since they lost the match via countout) would
have to dress in drag. Master Bull came
out and said no, and said to restart the match.
The challengers
brought the fight to the champs even double teaming them for almost a third of
the match. The flyers just kept fighting
back. Insano hits a Guerrero stomp on El
Chango and then tags out to Tornado who hits Chango with a Tornado punch
sending him to the outside. Insano runs
over and nails Chango with a Brainbuster
on the floor. He is out. Vampiro runs over and brawls with Insano and
the ref ends up counting Chango out at the 20 minute mark. The Mexicali Flyers retain their titles via
countout decision but again, we are in the same predicament. Master Bull comes out again and says that a
winner must be decided by pinfall and to avoid anyone getting counted out, at
the next show, this would be moved to a steel cage. The winner of that match will be the NJWW tag
team championships. The losers will have
to dress in drag for 3 consecutive shows.
Everyone leaves
to make way for the main event. The
challenger Daniel Bryan comes out first and he is followed by HWF World
Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. This
will be a best of 3 falls; 60 minute time limit. In 9 minutes, Brock takes the first fall
after nailing Bryan with the F-5. For
the first 19 minutes, Daniel had total control and was dominating the World
Champion. The tide turned however after
Bryan got tossed out of the ring and Brock picked him up and rammed his back
repeatedly into the steel post. After that,
Bryan could barely stand. Brock toyed
with him for 6 minutes and after a back body drop sent Bryan up 10 feet into
the air and he crashed hard on the mat, Brock walked over and with one finger
pinned Daniel Bryan. Brock Lesnar
retains the HWF World title.
All of a sudden,
the lights go out and an eerie blue light fills the arena. The Undertaker’s music hits and Brock is
leaning over the ropes hollering for Undertaker to come out. What he fails to notice is that Undertaker is
already there standing behind him. Brock
turns around and eats a big boot.
Undertaker calls for the Tombstone Piledriver but Brock quickly rolls
out. Brock’s eyes are wide with surprise
and he backs cautiously back up the ramp.
Undertaker raises his arm and the lights come back up. Undertaker leaves the ring.
That is all we have for now. Stay Tuned as we have more great action to report on coming up.
